Courtney Lanning | Private Residence Bridal Session | April 24, 2023
Courtney is one of our brides who LOVES photographs. I had such a fun time photographing her Engagement Session, so I was looking forward to her Bridal Session so much! After a rainy/windy forecast for the day we’d scheduled her Bridal Session, Courtney was able to switch around EVERYTHING: work, florist, hair, makeup to scoot her session up by 2 days. I was so thankful, because we ended up having a GORGEOUS day for her session! It was a mild 60º day, with some sunshine & no wind!
Courtney looked absolutely beautiful when we arrived! Her hair and makeup were just PERFECTION – I loved her updo sooooo much, and I couldn’t get over how her lashes & eye makeup were just the prettiest!!! Courtney looked like a real-life Disney princess – in a sparkly full gown full of detailed & buttons all the way down the back. She had gotten her hair & makeup done at 10:00am, and I couldn’t believe that it stayed so perfect all day until our session!!
We had such a great evening exploring around Courtney’s property and imagining where her wedding would be in just 5 short weeks! The grounds were beautiful & had so many pretty photo spots for us to use.
Courtney told us she was so nervous all day for her session – but when the session started, she was just a natural and did an amazing job posing for us! I would have had no idea she was ever nervous!!!
Her sweet mom & mother-in-law (almost) came to help with the session, and it was so great meeting Bradney’s mom and having their help for the session! In fact, if we had Courtney’s session on the original date, her MIL Teresa would have missed it since her daughter will be induced on that same day! So it all worked out wonderfully!!! We also loved meeting Courtney’s pup Ollie (and her mom’s dog Tucker too!) and taking some cute photos of Ollie too!
I have so many favorites from Courtney’s Bridal Session to share with ya’ll on the blog! I hope ya’ll ENJOY!
